Summary

Oceans 234 is an award-winning, oceanfront restaurant in Deerfield Beach offering the finest dining experience in South Florida.

Business Idea

Mobile-Centric Approach

As we discussed during our time together, your customers are both discerning and primarily mobile-based, and the site needs to do a much better job of bringing them through to your cores including reservations, menu and directions.

Business Plan

Telling The Story

We will be bringing to bear the experience of our content strategist, Ben Allee to assist in revising your site's home page and value propositions. Should more assistance be desired, we are here to help in both creating deeper storytelling components and improving your content and story.

Business Target

Target Audience

As a premium destination, your audience expects a flawless experience when dining with you, and the site will be created to match the ambiance of being in-location.

Current Website Experience

Site Speed

The site suffers from a myriad of issues which can negatively impact site experience for visitors, such as unnecessary third party code, enormous network payloads, and invalid robots.txt.

Site Security

According to Sucuri, a 3rd party security scanning tool the site is referencing a page that is inaccessible.

Site Content

Below are the pages that Google has indexed on your site, as well as pages that are not functioning or missing right now. As part of our work together, DynamiX will help create a new brand vision for your home page, and is available should you wish to take this further in subsequent pages.

The Big Focus: 
MENU, RESERVATIONS, DIRECTIONS

"Put it in their lap so they don’t have to find it."

Additional Considerations

Make Visitors HUNGRY

You have some of the best photography we have seen for a restaurant, and we'd love to bring this out in an engaging and powerful way. We envision large image areas and video areas with minimal copy (text), focusing on making someone feel like they're desperate to sit down and eat.

a pier with waves crashing against it

Showcase Your AMBIANCE

Your location is incredible, and we need to include this in the design of the site experience as well. We discussed the "is anyone coming here" look of the current hero video, and would love to focus on more engaging video of people enjoying their meals and being near the property at the beach or overlooking it.

Appeal to VIPs

As discussed you have some great VIP and corporate customers, and the site does almost nothing to cater to them today. We discussed leveraging Octane to create "secret" pages that can be used for corporate customers, to pitch new accounts and for showcasing your offering to VIPs.

We even love the idea of actually texting links to some of the VIPs for private/special events as an additional layer of exclusivity.

Leaning Into Locals and Travelers?

This is a discussion point, but what if there's an experience for locals (great neighborhood spot for, relaxing etc) and a tourist experience (like holy **** I can't believe I'm dining oceanfront)? This can garner positive SEO for both searches and we can potentially add in social mentions for each page that represent those categories.

MAGIC UP YOUR MENU

The menu now is the least interesting part of your site experience, and it should be the best. We plan to create a new menu experience designed to make the menu feel exciting, with optional imagery/video to break up sections and potentially an on-click view of each menu item where desired.

Menus For More Occasions

We could be wrong here, but it seems like having a simple way to create menus that are bespoke would be powerful. Example, a special menu for Valentine's Day.

Potential: Future Sites Discussion

We discussed with Manny leveraging Octane under an agency approach, and in potentially rewarding you as part of a collaborative effort to create a site whose features can scale. This has not been quoted or covered under this scope, but we are noting it here for future discussion on the best path forward between you, Manny and us.

From Our Food Critic Friend:

When I eat somewhere like that it’s special, sometimes euphoric.  Relaxing.  I’d like to experience that.  The video and drone and images aren’t bad but I don’t feel like I’m “there”

New Site Capabilities

AKA "What We Think About So You Don't Have To"

Site Styler

As you saw during our call together, Octane's Site Styler allows for sweeping changes to the look and feel of the site experience, as well as smaller, nuance changes where appropriate. This will be night and day compared to your current experience, and dramatically better, faster and more nimble than any Wordpress or similar builder out there.

Layout Store

A brand new feature of our Octane software is the new Layout Store. This technology is designed to allow your team to add new features to the site without needing our support, both to fill in small gaps in areas and for broader and more interesting capabilities. As part of our work together on the new site, our team will integrate all current Layout Store layouts into the new site, currently over 150 components which can be utilized by our team or yours to continue expanding the site well into the future.

SEO Explorer

Our exclusive SEO explorer lets you know where you stand in real time, pointing out issues on pages across the website. We use it when building the site, and you'll have access to keep it moving forward as content is added.

Audit Trail

We consider Octane to be a "single source of truth" for how a site is being worked on and improved over time, and have designed many features into the platform that allow for easy access to data that can assist in decision making and understanding.

  • Input-Based: See any adjustments made to an input on a given page simply by clicking on the history tool. You can use this area to revise back to a previous version as well simply by clicking on the text and confirming!
  • Page-Based: Want to see what changes have been made to a given page? This lives next to each page and shows every adjustment since the moment the page was made.
  • Global Trail: The left navigation bar includes a link to the site's global audit trail, which provides all changes made to the site and lets you filter by user.

Site Speed

Octane is designed to allow for lightning fast page loads and optimization at scale, ensuring your site loads quickly for visitors at all times.

301 Redirector

We've developed our one of a kind Redirect Explorer, designed to allow your team and ours to ensure that all pages of the original website are fully accounted for in the new experience.

DNS Management

Octane allows you to manage DNS directly, even launching the site with a button press!

Octane Form Builder

Our Form Builder allows you to customize form inputs, choose where you want submissions sent, and integrates with Google Sheets for easy onramp into other platforms.

Octane AI Tool

Leveraging the latest in artificial intelligence technology, Octane has been designed to augment your team's content needs directly within each individual page.

Additional Features

New Menu

As discussed above, the menu today is lacking and our aim will be to create a mobile-focused, exciting dining menu that allows you to showcase your amazing food in a way that inspires visitors to move forward with you over other dining destinations.

External Platforms

You currently leverage external tools for booking reservations, food delivery (not functioning at the moment) and gift cards. As requested, we will continue to leverage the same links and resources in the new site experience.

Layout Store Inclusion

Octane's new Layout Store is a phenomenal technology stack designed to allow your site to do more without needing us to create custom components. Currently there are over 150 layouts inside the store, and more are being added regularly. We will add all current useful layouts during the build process for you.

Why DynamiX?

The DynamiX team and suite of technologies are second to none. I have worked with them on three websites, and I highly recommend them. The process that they have developed and lead you with guarantees that your website will be rock-solid, visually pleasing, and technically sound.

The built-in SEO functionality and code that's produced by their dev team will give you a leg up on your competition. They promise great results and have always overdelivered for me.

John Lenz, Multiple Companies

Outstanding... that's what the DynamiX experience has been for us! When we launched our company we knew that as a coaching business, an impactful website would be just as important for us as an impressive building is to a brick and mortar operation.

The DynamiX team delivered with a fantastic product. When people come to our site they tell me "I have viewed your site and feel like you can help us with what we need." That type of comment more than anything tells me that DynamiX understood my company and developed exactly what I need. From construction to the ongoing support the DynamiX team has been phenomenal.

Mike Watkins, Multiple Companies

Innovative. Creative. Game Changing. You will NEVER go back to a Wordpress site again. After meeting with countless web development teams and coming very close to a contract, we were introduced to the DynamiX team. They took the time to really understand what we were looking for and put together a proposal that illustrated they understood our unique needs and our target audiences. The design, the customer service, the functionality - all beyond our expectations.

The proprietary content management system is literally like no other - easy to navigate, flexible, truly dynamic. We've been living in our new site for a year now and it continues to deliver. And the new features keep on coming. The team just launched a new AI Content function, which is solid. It translates even the most basic writing into strong web content. Can't say enough good things about our experience with the team at DynamiX.
